In a nail-biting thriller, it was the beast incarnate who managed to score a victory. We still remember the surprised faces of the audience. Given the character of the beast, Brock looked like an opponent who could break the streak. But the deadman has different thoughts. After Brock Lesnar defeated Undertaker, the deadman faced another defeat at Wrestlemania 33 at the hands of Roman Reigns.
Brock was a bona fide superstar at that point. Roman [Reigns defeating Undertaker at WM33] definitely, that was the right call. I just wish he may have been first. If Roman would have been able to do it, I think it would have increased the value. Nonetheless, Reigns is currently the biggest draw in the pro-wrestling business. Sign in. Forgot your password?
Get help. Back in, Kane with a flying clothesline for two. Tombstone, but Kane kicks out — which was pretty crazy shit at the time. They must have had insane confidence in Kane at the time to let him kick out of not one, but TWO tombstones — which was pretty much unheard of at the time. They brawl to the floor, and into the cell.
Oh, but so it would seem! Ropewalk forearm, but Bossman crotches him. In the wrong ways. Oh, shit! He better slow down! Oh, and choking, of course. And, indeed, he goes for the ropewalk next, but gets slammed off.
HHH with a straight neckbreaker for two, and he pounds away. Swinging variation gets a series of two counts, and he gets into a shoving match with the referee about it, in a cute spot. Actually, in high school, that was one of my friends constant rips on wrestling. The weapons under the ring, or in random places around ringside.
He found this ridiculous, and would always bring it up any time I would try to broach the subject of wrestling with him. Anyway, the ref pulls it away from him, but Trips still sets up the Pedigree, only to get countered, as UT hits a slingshot, right into the uppity referee. Okay then. UT dumps him, in an impressive bump from HHH, and backdrops him into the crowd.
Man, he is ON with his backdrops tonight! HHH grabs a random chair the placement of which actually makes sense! Actually, onto a big giant mattress, but it looked really cool. Yeah, the ref should be a vegetable at this point — and in no way should he be trusted with officiating any sort of sporting events. Not as good as I remember it being when I was in high school, but definitely a solid match.
Back inside, Flair botches the Flair Flip, but manages it on the 2 nd try, and eats boot. Odd transition there, as UT actually physically put him on the top for the superplex, when it looked like he was supposed to end up there on his own, but another attempt at a Flair Flip failed. Big boot misses, and Flair dumps him. Undertaker grabs poor Arn who actually bothered to blade! Tombstone makes him at This would have been well served to lose ten minutes, and trim all the punchy-kicky stuff I glossed over that made up a good bulk of the match.
Show posts him for good measure, and a press slam onto the rail allows Albert to get two. He counters HIM with a cross arm breaker, but Show drops a big leg to break it up. Abdominal stretch by Show, which I may normally bitch about, but he does make sure to use Albert for leverage.
I do complain, however, as Albert tags in, and then does the exact same fucking thing. Come on now guys. Mix it up a little. Having two guys carry the load certainly helped pacing issues, but this was nothing special. Cross corner clothesline by Billie Joe Taker, and he goes for the powerbomb, but Kane stunguns him or, well, at least in theory does, as they miss it by a mile.
Sidewalk slam, and a flying clothesline gets two. Ropewalk forearm pops the Garden, but Kane catches him in a choke coming down, which Undertaker promptly counters with his own choke!
And, indeed, that kind of disrespect causes the sit up. Jumping clothesline, chokeslam, and the tombstone put him at at a brisk The entrances took up as long as the match. Backdrop, and he tries another criss cross, so UT simply decks him this time. Well, that is one counter. The lay out apron leg drop leaves Orton dazed, and he follows with the ropewalk. Corner charge misses, and Orton hits a nice, Hennig-style dropkick. Bad looking sidewalk slam it looked incredibly phony gets two, and he hits a few corner charges to make up for all the ones he misses.
Orton reverses into a DDT for two, and hits the chinlock. Side suplex stops that effort, as the crowd rallies. Jumping clothesline misses, as Orton turns it into a powerslam for two. It gets two, giving the crowd a near heart attack. Chokeslam, but Orton counters with the RKO for two.
He tries for a tombstone, and gets reversed for at Well booked match. It has no effect, however. Henry controls, and even stops a ropewalk attempt with a gutpunch. He tries for the casket, but no dice. For the stupid people! Ten punch count in the corner, and you can guess what happens to him from there. Tombstone, and a casual roll into the casket puts us at in WrestleMania World Heavyweight Title Match: Batista v The Undertaker : The story here is that both men were pissed off at getting shunted down the card despite having a World Title match, and decided to try and steal the show.
Batista spears him to start, and takes him to school in the corner. Back inside, Batista with a flying shoulderblock for two, and a lariat gets two. That spot always looks good. Hogan may not have been a technical master, but he knew how to go with what worked. Ropewalk, but the chokeslam is blocked, so he goes back to the old favorite: the jumping clothesline.
Super sloppy version this year, too. Some jabs put Batista on the floor, so we can do the apron legdrop, and then the tope. Dave reverses an Irish whip into the rail, however, and hits a running powerslam through the announce table.
Back inside, that gets two, so Batista goes to the more conventional way of doing damage: mounting him and just slugging away. Another powerslam for two.
He makes the mistake of trying a ten-punch count in the corner seriously, does no one actually bother to study the tapes of their opponents before they battle anymore? At least come up with a new transition into that move, God. Batista quickly comes back with a spinebuster, but walks into the chokeslam for two. Tombstone, but Batista counters with a spear, and the Batista Bomb, but it only gets two.
He tries another, but takes a backdrop, and one tombstone later we have a new champion at , making him Shitty looking jumping clothesline he gets worse at that with every passing year! Edge spears him out of the ring, and into the rail to mount a comeback, and then follows with a baseball slide.
Standing dropkick, and Edge goes up top, but UT shoves him off, all the way to the floor. Powerbomb, but Edge wriggles free, and catches him with a big boot seriously? From Edge? To the floor, Edge side suplexes him over the rail, and into the front row, in an impressive spot. Back inside, that gets two. Uh, yeah, Undertaker wins that. Snake eyes, but Edge catches him coming back for two. Jumping DDT gets two. Ropewalk, but Edge crotches him, and hits a super-duperplex for two.
And, yep, powerbomb, though Edge counters with a reverse neckbreaker for two. He proves he IS a moron, however, trying a backdrop next, and eating the powerbomb for two. Proper ropewalk finally hits, but the referee gets bumped, as Edge hits his reverse DDT. This had issues, but overall was very solid. Shawn with a Flair Flip, and he tastes the ozone on a backdrop.
Huge press slam follows, and an elbowdrop gets two. UT works the shoulder, setting up the ropewalk forearm, but misses a running knee into the corner. Shawn follows up with a kneebreaker, and a chopblock. Hey, whatever works. Chokeslam, but Shawn counter with the Crippler Crossface.
Shawn with a pair of atomic drops, and a jumping clothesline puts the big man down. Shawn quickly dives into the ropes, and to the floor after the break. Apron legdrop actually misses, and Shawn with a baseball slide. He beats it the count, not the refs dick , however, so Shawn warms up the band. Superkick walks him right into a chokeslam, but that only gets two. Tombstone, into superkick, into chokeslam, into superkick sequence, and Shawn gets two off of that.
The look on his face there is just brilliant, and he pulls down the strap in frustration. Tombstone again, but Shawn counters with a DDT.
